Thanks for posting this. The bias is stupidly obvious to anyone, but it's the first time I see inside coverage. I wish they could check the Australian news...

Without proper investigation it just sounds like conspiracy theory. Even as i watch Australian news I have trouble believing the bias control.

Thanks for the info. Though what I wanted to post was asking about the protests, which zero_gravitas answered.

The thing is, as someone who worked with photoshop most of my life, Krita is a much more capable image manipulation software than Gimp, really comparable to photoshop. While Gimp is, to me, really more like a toy. It's entirely capable if you just need to do something basic but it will quickly show it's limitations if you need to do professional work.

I guess that may be the issue, that Krita got the stigma of being only for drawing and art. Or, what I think, is just that Gimp is more famous. And since most people don't need a professional tool, they only try that and recommend it, not even knowing that there is something better.

And finally, almost every professional uses photoshop so they don't even know about either Krita or Gimp (and the ones who tried Gimp will give up on open source alternatives quickly). While 3D had a reasonable amount of options before Blender, so people were more willing to try something else.

Just my guess... I hope Krita gets the support Blender got, because they could change the industry in my opinion if they get more funding.

I wish I could do something about people using facebook/instagram.... What I can see is very limited. But thanks a lot! From the thumbnails I got the location. I will try to go. The APAN website seems to have better info. I saw that website before but got confused. There are many websites and it's hard to tell what's more "official".

Regarding posting here, I don't have the energy for that. I learned a lot from the last post, but it's very exhausting when I have a polemic opinion and I get a bunch of people against me. And like a guy said there, I may just be the problem. Either way with the links you gave me I now know where to look. So thanks again!

I don't know on mobile, but on desktop Krita is the Blender of art software. Superior to photoshop in many ways. Oddly i always see people suggesting Gimp, which is like a toy compared to Krita in my opinion.

Where do you get that info? I'm trying to find but searching online just gives me zionist news like abc and so on. I imagine it's all on facebook which I don't use. Even searching on lemmy I only find news about the conflict. I imagine mods don't allow support for protests, even though I thought lemmy would be the ideal place to post about this.

I thought of making a topic about it but i fear i might just get banned, since my previous post against military wasn't exactly well received.

Anyway, do you know where it will be?

Yes. And I'm considering that.

Thanks for respectfully disagreeing. Yes, as I said on other post, the term I use is not quite right, but it's how I see it. I just fundamentally see these things in a different way. What you guys see as mourning I see as celebration. But I do understand the intention.

I believe I will learn to see past it (though for 10 years I haven't yet). But if I found my objective it would be a nice bonus.

And thanks, it is genuine. I traveled dozens of thousands of km looking for my ideal town, which I still hope to find!

Thanks! That seems like a very useful idea and I'll look into it. I'll research new towns tomorrow.

The thing is a mental gimnastics. Personally Australian view and involvement with war, very much specially the newer invasions, bother me a lot. I feel guilty living here and my taxes funding an american invasion. To me the fact they get away with it comes from the respect Australians have for the military. But if I do something about it (like going back) I'll be the only affected and nothing changes. So I want to pretend it's not true. Live a lie. And if I can find a town without names of it, it's easier to lie to myself. But if I go to the park and it shows the military worship, I will inevitably remember the truth.

It's far fetched, but I think it can work.

Sorry, I exagerated a lot. But yes, I've seen quite a few towns where it seems like the memorial was the biggest public investment in the town.

Exaggerations my search is still the same. But yes, as eureka says, there are some pretty big ones. Luckily some times some big ones that are unrelated to war, but very rare. Like Barcaldine I think, where there is a very big and beautiful monument to worker's strikes. I was very surprised when I saw it and found it's not military.

Sorry, you wrote a lot and I feel disrespectful not to answer, but you are really seeing this in a very emotional and deep manner. It would end up being just a fight. I am not trying to offend you and what you consider important. You just have to understand that others might not find it as important for various reasons.

There would be much I could talk about, but better not to let this get emotional. I am just looking for a place, not trying to change how anyone sees the issue.
